Comments Thread For: Spence Says Thurman May Be Toughest Foe, Unsure on Crawford

[Bossman15]

The division is pretty lacklustre at the minute

Inactive Thurman + Porter

Garcia, who has shown to be a level under Thurman, who himself hasn’t proven a lot yet

Spence and Crawford. Spence has only one noteworthy win, and Crawford hasn’t even fought at the weight. Pacquiao is at the very end of his career

No idea why people claim Welterweight is some stacked division. The top of it is fairly weak

Wouldn't say he has one more worthy fight he has a few in my opinion, but he has proven himself in a great fashion and is improving in every fight. Let's just see how Crawford looks and how Thurman does against Vargas or Khan then we can make a case

[John Locke]

Naw. Thurman’s scary azz runs too much and doesnt have the workrate to produce a classic fight against anybody.

Like against Porter?

[Bossman15]

Thurman isn't that big. I used to train with him and have sparred him a couple of times.

Granted, I was a 6' 140lber, so you're talking to a guy who actually was big for his weight.

Yeah I thought he fought at 154 in the amateurs

Spence only beat a shot drained brook really hes stil a bit of a hype right now crawford thurman porter and garcier pac i rate above him at this moment can rise to the top but aint there yet

Well Brook felt like he was in 100 shape for this fight when everyone knew he should of stayed at 154 he took way too much damage in that fight against Golovkin, plus Spence game plan worked, and I feel he does very well against the Porter Garcia's and Vargas. me he beats Thurman and gives Crawford problems but that's a 50/50 fight

Because Spence, Thurman, and Crawford are all top 10 P4P talents, and the second level at 147 are all good. But your points are valid. These guys all need to get ACTIVE, and build up the excitement for these matches. Crawford needs to whup him some Horn and get a true 147 challenge immediately after. Spence needs to handle business on the 20th and fight more often. Thurman and Porter need to be back 100%.

But if all that happens.... come on, admit it. This is a freaking stacked division.

With everyone back at 147, with Mayweather and Pacman gone, I expect everyone to fight each other. The only sad bit might be Crawford and Arum.

gayweather jr won't let spence fight an arum fighter. he'll make up some bs excuse like he's doing right now with davis by having him avoid lomachenko.

agreed except I believe spence has yet to have a note worthy win brook was damaged goods. I think the division is overrated.

Spence by late round KO

man, u expect WAY too much.

[j.razor]

I feel like Spence is the best at 147, but he looks so big in this division.

Everyone has a different body type & just cuz someone weighs more doesn't mean they are bigger, could be that they are out of shape cuz I notice talk starting to pick up here about weight differences.
